Really, really want to like this jacket but...

By Sonya Hirsch Ranked #198 - Women's 3-in-1 Jackets November 18, 2009

Got this jacket in the blue lagoon color (no longer available on here) for an unbeatable price on SAC. The color actually brings up my first complaint and that's that I was expecting much more of a blue color - or at least a little darker - and, instead, the jacket is more of a seafoam green.

I decided I could deal with the much girlier color of the jacket because the fit in the waist and hips is great. The jacket (shell + liner) also kept me nice and toasty while laying on the hood of my car for two hours watching the Leonid Meteor Shower the other night. All I had under it was a long sleeve, midweight merino shirt.

Actually, that's about all I could have comfortably worn under it. The arms at the elbows are pretty tight. In addition to the tight elbows, which I think is caused by the extra bulk the seam there causes, the arms are a bit too short. When I put my arms up in front of me, the sleeves pull up past my wrists and the jacket is super tight across my back.I'm 5'6", 150 lbs (most of that is in my legs from cycling) and I bought the large...and am sorry to say that I will be returning it. So sad, too, because it seems like it would be such a warm, quality jacket.
